Title 28-AA - Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Allegany and Steuben Southern Tier Extension Railroad Authority
2642-M - Contracts.

§ 2642-m. Contracts. 1. All contracts for the construction,
reconstruction, rehabilitation or improvement of buildings let by the
authority shall comply with the provisions of section two hundred twenty
of the labor law and shall also be subject to the provisions of law
applicable to contracts let by a municipal corporation, except as
otherwise provided herein.

2. All contracts for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation
or improvement of buildings let by the authority shall be in conformity
with the applicable provisions of section one hundred thirty-five of the
state finance law.

3. The authority may, in its discretion, assign contracts for
supervision and coordination to the successful bidder for any
subdivision of work for which the authority receives bids. Any
construction contract awarded by the authority shall contain such other
terms and conditions as the authority may deem desirable. The authority
shall award any construction contract involving an expenditure of more
than five thousand dollars to the lowest bidder who, in its opinion, is
qualified to perform the work required and who is responsible and
reliable. The authority may, however, reject any or all bids or waive
any informality in a bid if it believes that the public interest will be
promoted thereby. The authority may reject any bid, if, in its judgment,
the business and technical organization, plant, resources, financial
standing, or experience of the bidder justifies such rejection in view
of the work to be performed.

4. For the purposes of article fifteen-A of the executive law only,
the authority shall be deemed a state agency as that term is used in
such article, and all contracts for procurement, design, construction,
services and materials shall be deemed state contracts within the
meaning of that term as set forth in such article.
